She has around one year and 10 months to go in the contract, and wants $50 million to sever ties with NBC, sources familiar with the negotiations told TMZ.

Kelly added that it was "OK" for white people to wear blackface on Halloween when she was a young girl. "Like, back when I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character".
